Wine Marketers: You’re Probably Using AI Wrong

CASE 0516: I Think Big Bird Is Drunk...
DEFENDANT: PBS Kids! EVIDENCE: A to Z Wineworks Chardonnay SCENE OF THE CRIME: A TV near you! -- Hey friend — grab a glass and settle in! In this cozy episode of True Crimes Against Wine, Judge Topher and Judge Rachel pair a bright, stainless-steel A to Z Oregon Chardonnay with a nostalgic deep-dive into PBS Kids. Expect lots of nostalgic tangents (Lisa Frank stickers, slap bracelets, and wishbone adventures), a warm appreciation for Sesame Street, Arthur, Reading Rainbow and more, plus a fun celebrity pop-quiz about famous folks who popped up on kids’ programming. We chat about the wine's fresh pineapple, pear, and apple notes, why it's a perfect picnic pick, and how A to Z Wineworks' women-led, sustainability-focused mission makes sipping feel extra great. Then we get delightfully nostalgic — from Mr. Rogers and Carmen Sandiego to Ghostwriter, Dragon Tales and the many ways PBS taught curiosity, empathy and real-world smarts. It's casual, silly, and heartfelt: think spirited wine tas

podcast· 32:32▻ How You Get The Next Generation Into Fine Wine
Wine consumption is at its lowest since the early 1960s, and one reason is that the younger generation isn’t drinking wine. One company that is addressing this is Goedhuis Waddesdon, the bluest of blue-chip British wine merchants, who have set up The Goed Wine Collective, a club for under-35-year-olds. Sarah Kemp talks to the company’s Harry Tennant and Tilly Loughton, both in their 20s, on how the club works (spoiler alert – it’s free), how they recruit young members, the events they put on, and the language needed to engage their generation. A fascinating look into the under-35-year-old fine wine mindset. Find out more at: wine-conversation.com

videoCan Wine Save the Planet Diary Day 7 Syncline Columbia Gorge Washington
So, can wine save the planet? Wine is an agricultural product, just like vegetables. But you are much more likely to be able to tell me what winery your wine was from than what farm your avocado was from. Wineries are about telling their stories, and this story will help spread the word about these regenerative farming methods. These vintners are paying it forward for the planet, and you can, too, by supporting them and encouraging other vineyards and farms to incorporate these methods. Pay it forward, sharing their stories with your friends. On our site, https://CanWineSavethePlanet.com, you’ll find Several Videos that explain the project and how you can get involved You can also Make a Donation if that moves you.

Lo Hon Chai
I’ve been doing a lot of reading and thinking, interspersed with conversations with Chat GPT. What else would you call it. . . I ask questions, the AI responds, I ask follow up questions, it’s a deeper and more intimate dialogue than I would have with most people. It’s tangential and at times scatalogical. I ask about Lo Hon Chai, Buddha’s delight, and it makes suggestions. It’s a Lunar new year dish, signifying purity or cleansing, designed to nourish without inflaming desires. . . I look at the ingredients and wonder about the flavours, it seems very bland - but it works - there’s a poise and gentle balance . . . Lo Hon means Arhat, an adept who has obtained Nirvana. . . I always thought the original number was 4, but the Chinese inflated it to 10, then 16 and finally 18. . . . A pair of recent books both containing the word Golden in their title. The Golden Road - by William Dalrymple and The Golden Wok - by Diana Chan. From the first I learn about the Indosphere and how

videoCan Wine Save The Planet Day 05 Diary Hedges Family Estate Washington
Hedges Family Estate & Sarah Hedges Goedhart This is a family business. Tom and Marie Hedges began this winery and vineyard, but much of the work has now fallen to their children. Their son, Christophe, is the General Manager, and their daughter, Sarah Hedges Goedhart, is the head winemaker. Sarah and her brother are passionate about caring for this land and the planet. Sarah got hooked on wine when she was going to school in Santa Barbara. She worked in a tasting room there, managed to do a harvest, and then found herself at Preston, an organic farm and winery in Healdsburg. She and her husband then headed back to Washington to work with her brother and parents at the family winery. She worked on the garden, helped with hosting guests, and then worked as the Assistant Winemaker to her Uncle before taking over as winemaker when he retired in 2015. #wineregions #drinkwine #documentary #canwinesavetheplanet #harvest #wine #biodynamicwine #discoveringtheworld #discoveringwinecountr
